Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III is less than 10 weeks removed from surgery on a torn meniscus in his left knee. He suffered a bone bruise in the same knee in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and he buckled to the court in Game 2 of the NBA Finals when Marcus Smart collided with that knee during the third quarter.
The 24-year-old All-Defensive big man is giving all he has left, and it might be too much.
The Golden State Warriors are crushing Boston's two-big lineups. With two of either Williams, Al Horford, Daniel Theis or Grant Williams on the floor, the Celtics have been outscored by 33 points over 64 minutes through two games of the series.
